COVER-FASTENING FOR POTS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 505,432, datedSeptember 26, 1893.

Application filed April 5 1893. Serial No. 469.105. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CARL J OHANN PAUL BIENGRABER, a subject of the Kingof Prussia, residing at Hamburg, Germany, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Oover-Fastenings for Pots, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to an improved cover fastening for pots which isconstructed with a view of holding the cover to its seat, while the potis inclined, to discharge its contents.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation partly in sectionof a pot provided with my improved cover fastening. Fig. 2 is a top viewthereof.

The letter D representsa pot or can having nozzle D, and handle D asusual. The neck I), of the pot D, is provided with an eccentric undercutflange a, which gradually increases in width from the rear toward thefront. That is to say, while the undercut flange a, is widest in linewith the nozzle D, itgradually merges into the rim of the neck I),toward the rear (Fig. 2). The lid or cover 0, is supported upon a seat aand will, by the eccentric flange a, be securely held in place when thepot is tilted, as will be readily understood. It will be seen that asthe flange extends only over the front half of the cover, the latter maybe put in place, by being slightly tilted and slipped underneath theflange. Thus the cover may be made of the same size as its seat and willnot rattle or slip when the pot is in use.

What I claim is The combination of a pot having a shou1- der a which isexposed at its rear half, with an eccentric flange which extends overthe front of the shoulder and with a cover adapted to fit upon theshoulder, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
